Attorney receives award

Attorney Gerald O'Brien has received the Leonard L. Loeb Award for many years of contributions to the State Bar, the legal community and the public. The award was presented May 15 at the 50-year member recognition luncheon in Delafield.

He joined the Anderson O'Brien Law Firm of Stevens Point upon graduation from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1959. His areas of practice include accident and personal injury, business litigation, and employment and labor law.
